Ed Carpenter was running three seconds off the pace during the final warmup practice. Dario Franchitti said he was a moving chicane. The word moving was offended.

Ed_Severson		2012-06-03 02:32:14 PM

Starting P5 today ... it's like Long Beach, but without the penalty. I like it.

Jensaarai		2012-06-03 02:33:53 PM

Carpenter was just hung over from too much Fuzzy's.

Jensaarai: Carpenter was just hung over from too much Fuzzy's.

You better shut up before he tells his stepdad and has him cancel the race.

DanZero		2012-06-03 02:52:54 PM

So this one got the green. Now that Fark has an IndyCar source image, that's where I'm going next week :D

I'll be at the track next week. Got a really good seat for under $50. I'm excited.

shiat are we underway yet?

20 minutes, ricky.

If NASCAR continues it's JJ love fest, I won't be switching back and forth.

Hopefully the stewards kindly invite Mr Carpenter to drive his car straight into the garage area before Mr. Franchitti forces Mr. Carpenter to enter the garage area for entirely different reasons than merely having a slow car.

No shiat... I was listening to the NASCAR race while playing SWTOR, and was going "NO! NO! NO! NO!" every time I heard about He Who Shall Not Be Named being in a position he should not be in.

DanZero		2012-06-03 03:26:36 PM

Is the race starting at 3:30 or is it just the coverage time? ABC hasn't switched over to it yet here.

ClavellBCMI		2012-06-03 03:31:13 PM

Coverage time, since they *just* switched to the race coverage here.

paj		2012-06-03 03:35:15 PM

My tv-guide has the race starting @ 4.

fredzilla		2012-06-03 03:39:34 PM

Pre-race hijinks for the first bit.

WhoIsWillo		2012-06-03 03:40:47 PM

Those promo shots of Power and Franchitti in suits were bizarrely awesome.

DanZero		2012-06-03 03:43:31 PM

That's the dude that got Suh-spended last year!

DanZero		2012-06-03 03:46:07 PM

The island of Belle Isle!

Is there an ATM Machine?

DanZero		2012-06-03 03:49:06 PM

Is the pit chick pregnant?

DanZero		2012-06-03 03:51:01 PM

This looks like a pretty sweet course -- nice to see a road course kinda sorta away from the city

Jensaarai		2012-06-03 03:53:32 PM

Wilson's farked. Dixon is actually pulling away from Power?

Looks like the turbo change has *really* helped Honda.

DanZero		2012-06-03 03:56:07 PM

I'm already OUT, I GARAUNTEE!!!!

Dumb-Ass-Monkey		2012-06-03 03:56:34 PM

Justin Wilson already out of the race?

I guarawwwwwntee it!

DanZero		2012-06-03 03:57:47 PM

Side by Side! NASCAR needs to get with it

Dumb-Ass-Monkey		2012-06-03 03:58:40 PM

Don't blame NASCAR, blame the sponsors.

Ok, them then!

Jensaarai		2012-06-03 04:00:23 PM

Viso is starting to hold up the field. He's done well this season, but those guys are starting to look impatient.

DanZero		2012-06-03 04:04:09 PM

Indy Car sends Hunter-Reay a strongly-worded warning

ClavellBCMI		2012-06-03 04:04:37 PM

Ryan Hunter-Reay just got told "Stop that farking shiat!"

Jensaarai		2012-06-03 04:04:38 PM

Barichellowned.

Michael Schumacher seen slinking away from pit road.

WhoIsWillo		2012-06-03 04:06:14 PM

I didn't expect Power to try and pass Dixon. Power pretty much stated his goal is to make it a two stop race.

Jensaarai		2012-06-03 04:07:42 PM

I'm hoping we get a caution to break everyone's 2 stop strategy.

Fox doesn't do it often, but they do it. Such as right now (65 to go).

rickythepenguin		2012-06-03 04:19:21 PM

Sato's pit crew in those white unifroms looks like the evil henchman's faceless Japanese army in every other James Bond movie

9beers		2012-06-03 04:19:32 PM

I was noticing that is seemed the cars were bouncing around quite a bit and wondered if it was normal. Guess not after hearing that interview. Now watch Detroit spend millions that they don't have to repave Belle Isle.

ClavellBCMI		2012-06-03 04:20:47 PM

Mr. Ashley Judd broke his car on Bourdais' slow car.

ClavellBCMI		2012-06-03 04:24:05 PM

ClavellBCMI: Mr. Ashley Judd broke his car on Bourdais' slow car.

And now he comes in to fix his car.

Jensaarai		2012-06-03 04:36:03 PM

Those bumps cannot be good for the suspensions. Ah well.

DanZero		2012-06-03 04:37:17 PM

He's back IN, no gaurawnntee

Jensaarai		2012-06-03 04:38:06 PM

Now the race is on between Justin Wilson and the last of the hamsters.

DanZero		2012-06-03 04:39:45 PM

Looks like H-Cliff got

re-tired.

YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

DanZero		2012-06-03 04:40:29 PM

I take that back

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
sato too

Jensaarai		2012-06-03 04:42:11 PM

This farkin' track is falling apart quickly.

ClavellBCMI		2012-06-03 04:42:30 PM

The track itself failed in the racing line.

rickythepenguin		2012-06-03 04:42:53 PM

Oh shiat. that's not cool.

so much for Indy's big return to Belle Isle.

if this keeps up, i don't mean to be pollyanna, but.....48 more laps and the track is falling apart? do they end it early?

DanZero		2012-06-03 04:44:42 PM

Are those -- strips of asphalt? Not good.

Dumb-Ass-Monkey		2012-06-03 04:45:25 PM

gaaah, what the hell happened while I was watching NASCAR?

ClavellBCMI		2012-06-03 04:46:41 PM

Considering they just showed race crew pulling up a *big* chunk of the patch they put down to cover up a *big* gouge in the road, I'd hope so... otherwise cars gonna break and wreck in that spot one right after another.

ClavellBCMI		2012-06-03 04:48:02 PM

Hmmm... mebbe they run under yellow until lap 46, then call it?

rickythepenguin		2012-06-03 04:48:32 PM

ClavellBCMI: otherwise cars gonna break and wreck in that spot one right after another.

yeah....i don't know if at these relatively pedestrian speeds, if anyone's life would be in danger but why even take the risk?
